SAP S/4HANA & Joget Integration for Real-Time Workflow Automation
This project involved integrating SAP S/4HANA data with the low-code Joget platform to create a seamless, automated workflow for managing business discussions and process updates across multiple departments. The primary goal was to establish a reliable, real-time data synchronization mechanism between the core ERP (SAP) and the workflow management system (Joget), thereby eliminating manual updates, reducing approval bottlenecks, and centralizing communication related to business decisions.
Client Overview
The client is JERA, Japan’s largest power generation company. Facing challenges with manual file handling, data duplication, and the need for seamless multilingual support (Japanese and English) for their large, diverse workforce, JERA required a reliable, automated system for internal department submissions.

Implementation Highlights
Created a seamless, bi-directional data flow by integrating SAP APIs directly into Joget’s Process Flow via custom Java code.
Automated the process of flagging and synchronizing updates in real-time across both platforms.
Designed a centralized system for managing business discussion outcomes and linking them directly to immediate data updates in SAP.
Implemented error checking and response validation within the custom API code for robust, reliable synchronization.
Challenges & Solutions
Manual data updates caused delays and errors.
Solution: Automated the entire data synchronization process between SAP and Joget using custom API calls, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring real-time consistency.
Inefficient management of multi-departmental business discussions and approval bottlenecks.
Solution: Streamlined API integration and used Joget’s workflow automation to centralize discussion results, automate approval processes, and immediately reflect decisions as data updates.
